I think at this point blk and scsi drivers have been hardened - so
treating them all the same looks wrong.
My understanding was that they have been audited, Sathya?

Yes, AFAIK, it has been audited. Andi also submitted some patches
related to it. Andi, can you confirm.

We also authorize the virtio at PCI ID level. And currently we allow
console, block and net virtio PCI devices.

{ PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_REDHAT_QUMRANET, VIRTIO_TRANS_ID_NET) },
{ PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_REDHAT_QUMRANET, VIRTIO_TRANS_ID_BLOCK) },
{ PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_REDHAT_QUMRANET, VIRTIO_TRANS_ID_CONSOLE) },

Presumably modern IDs should be allowed too?

You mean IDs in range 104x right? If yes, we also allow them for above
mentioned types.
